Is there any family member that worked at this building taht had a family member come up missing? Even a cousin or someone that lived near by or someone they baby sat? I do think there could be real answers. But there would have to be real question. Who is brave enough to ask? Most likely no one. If the Historical Museum is going to make money off this,they should finish it up with answers if they can! Do the history! Please anyone that can, try to get real answers. I heard about this on KAKE news. I would like to hear answers on the new when any are found. Thanks! I wonder?

The way the voice is so young and says...I'm a boy. And "she killed me". As if it wants to tell someone what happened. I don't know but it feels sad and sounds like about 10-11 yrs old child. I think Wichita would like to know more, but I would hope it has closure soon. =( Maybe a look at the history of missing boys and more questions to the boy? Age and date or anything that may give a clue? I think there is something really sad about this. The way the voice is so young and says…I’m a boy. And “she killed me”.
